With the introduction of regulations that are intended to
reduce the amount of sulphur released from diesel fuel exhaust
emissions, the natural lubricity that sulphur once provided to
diesel fuels is now removed during the refining process. LIQUID BEARING Diesel Fuel Conditioner is a fuel additive
that is designed to improve the lubricity, and performance, of Low
Sulphur diesel fuels.

Q:

Why should I use it?

A:

If your truck, heavy equipment or other diesel
engine-powered machinery represents a significant investment to you,
you can’t afford not to. These days, with the cost of downtime,
repairs, parts, and not to mention fuel, you should be exploring all
avenues to save money and increase the productivity of your
equipment.

Q:

How does it help save money?

A:

The internal components of engines generate a certain
amount of frictional drag during operation. If this internal drag
can be reduced, the amount of fuel that is normally required in
order to overcome this friction can be “saved”, leading to fuel cost
savings or increased power. Reduced internal friction translates
into increased service life, increasing return on investment.

Q:

What parts are affected by poor fuel lubricity?

A:

Some parts include:

Fuel pump - Fuel pumps run constantly so after many years of service the pump vanes, rollers or gears can wear, causing a gradual loss of pressure and flow.

Fuel injector pump – Increases the pressure of the fuel to overcome the high pressures of the compression cycle, enabling the fuel to be injected into the cylinders. Mechanical units also double as a metering device, controlling the amount of fuel injected, as well as the duration of the injection.

Fuel injectors – Delivers the fuel into the cylinders

Valves and valve seats – Controls the flow of air and exhaust into and out of the combustion chamber.

Valve guides – Holds the valves in position. The valve stem runs through the guides and the ends of the valves when actuated by the camshaft or rocker arms.

Piston rings and cylinder walls – In order to develop the high pressures needed during the compression cycle, a seal is formed by the piston rings pressing against the cylinder wall. The ring/wall interface generates the most friction within any internal combustion engine. Not only does it possess the most swept area, only a minimal amount of lubricating oil from the sump is provided to assist in lubrication. While the main bearings are flooded with lubricating oil directly from the oil pump and carrying away excess heat, the oil control rings on the pistons are designed to prevent excessive oil from accumulating on the cylinder walls.

Q:

What happens after I use it?

A:

Some of the benefits of regular use include:

Increased
fuel lubricity to reduce friction and wear

Lubricates
and protects internal mechanical components

Cleans
fuel system components and removes built-up soot and gum

Improves
engine efficiency and increase power, torque and mileage

Reduces exhaust
emissions

Increases component service life and reliability

Protection
of your mechanical investment

Q:

When should I use it?

A:

LIQUID BEARING Diesel Fuel Conditioner can be used
at any time. Just add it to the fuel tank prior to refilling.

Q:

How do I use it?

A:

LIQUID BEARING Diesel Fuel Conditioner
can be used at ratios as low as 1:1,200. For best results, start
with a ratio of 1:800. Increase or reduce subsequent ratios
according to desired level of performance or fuel quality. Use the
following table as a guideline:

Q:

Will it increase mileage?

A:

It would be irresponsible of us to absolutely guarantee a
certain amount of any mileage increase as we have no control over
the driving habits of anyone using our products. Having said that,
we have had many reports over the years from people experiencing
mileage increases of between 5% - 30% after using a combination of
our Fuel Conditioner and Lubricant Treatment.

Q:

Will it increase power?

A:

As with mileage, we cannot guarantee any increase but
there are many reports of smoother engine operation and improved
throttle response after treatment. Also refer to the answer in
the section for the Lubricant Treatment.

Q:

Will it void my warranty?

A:

New vehicle and equipment warranties are intended to cover
defects in manufacture or workmanship. The use of LIQUID
BEARING Diesel Fuel Conditioner will not affect this aspect
of the warranty, but equipment manufacturers and suppliers may
discourage the use of such products while new equipment is still
under warranty. Owner/operators of off-warranty equipment
should protect their equipment investment by using LIQUID
BEARING Diesel Fuel Conditioner. In fact, recently
off-warranty engines can benefit the most as internal components are
properly run-in by then. Regular use will allow this peak operating
condition to be maintained for longer periods, thereby increasing
and maximizing service life.

Q:

Is there anything I need to know once I start using it?

A:

One very important aspect of using LIQUID
BEARING Diesel Fuel Conditioner is the effect it has on
cleaning the fuel system and components. After LIQUID BEARING Diesel Fuel Conditioner is added to the fuel system, carbon,
varnish, dirt and other contaminants will be dislodged and these
deposits will likely travel through the fuel system where it will be
caught by the fuel filters. It is important to have the fuel
filters inspected frequently and/or replaced after the initial
application, and on a regular basis after that. Older vehicles and
equipment, as well as those operating in dirty environments will
require more frequent inspection.

Q:

Where does it come from? Where is it made?

A:

LIQUID BEARING Diesel Fuel Conditioner is made in
BC, Canada.

Q:

Are there other products in the product line?

A:

Yes, there is LIQUID BEARING Lubricant
Treatment, Gasoline Conditioner and Penetrating Lubricant. Use all
of the products in conjunction with each other whenever possible to
maximize fuel mileage, cost savings, and service life.

Q:

How does it compare to other products?

A:

We do not make comparisons with other competing products. We
leave that to our customers.
